Desperation is the secret to my steady employment. I am not interested in downtime. I really like to keep working all the time and I always feel like I'm in the mail room of life; working up.

We are occupants. No one has any lasting purchase on life or on the planet.

The world’s a better place since I chose music. I like the physical aspect of it, the volume and the intensity of it. It’s loud and hard. I like all that because inside me I feel like screaming.

When you title yourself, you immediately lend yourself to all kinds of pretension

My first introduction to African music was by my mother, who bought the 'Pata Pata' album by the great Miriam Makeba when it came out. Now that is an album. What a voice.

Contemporary bands often will do tour-only releases pressed and sold only in Australia. Crikey!

I live my life through the prism of capitalism and physiological limits and eventualities.
